This paper investigates foundation models tailored for music informatics, a domain currently challenged by the scarcity of labeled data and generalization issues. To this end, we conduct an in-depth comparative study among various foundation model variants, examining key determinants such as model a…
We introduce a framework that recommends music based on the emotions of speech. In content creation and daily life, speech contains information about human emotions, which can be enhanced by music. Our framework focuses on a cross-domain retrieval system to bridge the gap between speech and music vi…
This paper introduces effective design choices for text-to-music retrieval systems. An ideal text-based retrieval system would support various input queries such as pre-defined tags, unseen tags, and sentence-level descriptions. In reality, most previous works mainly focused on a single query type (…
Transformer is a successful deep neural network (DNN) architecture that has shown its versatility not only in natural language processing but also in music information retrieval (MIR). In this paper, we present a novel Transformer-based approach to tackle beat and downbeat tracking. This approach em…
Tag-based music retrieval is crucial to browse large-scale mu-sic libraries efficiently. Hence, automatic music tagging has been actively explored, mostly as a classification task, which has an inherent limitation: a fixed vocabulary. On the other hand, metric learning enables flexible vocabularies…
We introduce a trainable front-end module for audio representation learning that exploits the inherent harmonic structure of audio signals. The proposed architecture, composed of a set of filters, compels the subsequent network to capture harmonic relations while preserving spectro-temporal locality…
